PANEER COCONUT LADDU

Diwali is a celebration of  lights of happiness. It is a festival of lights and of course, eating lots 

and lots of sweets. We exchange the sweets with our friends family. The first and foremost 

sweet is Phova which is dipped in jaggery syrup and lots of scraped coconut; and is a sweet

which cannot be neglected in our menu. This time I made a special sweet, which was accidental, I can say.

I was preparing Roshgulla yesterday. When I was putting the balls in sugar syrup, it broke and spread all over in the syrup. I was disappointed to see the state of Roshgullas. Thus I thought of taking all the broken balls and making this sweet. And yes, I am happy with the outcome. It is an awesome sweet, one can try this for Diwali.

PANEER COCONUT LADDU

HOW TO MAKE:

Add sugar and one cup water in a kadahi and melt it over heat.

When the sugar syrup becomes one thread consistency add paneer and cook for few minutes.

Then add coconut gratings and stir well. Here the syrup becomes watery again.

Allow to cook till all the water goes off.

Add food color, mix well. When again the sugar syrup starts forming one thread consistency add ghee and cardamom powder. Mix well. Put off the heat.

It will be too hot to touch with your bear hand, so allow to cool a little bit.

When it is still warm start making laddus, applying some ghee on your palms.

Store in a airtight containers when it comes to room temperature.
